traveling.
we traveled to the capital city today to run some errands and have lunch.
it is great spending time with the boys. such a blessing to have this time with
them in their home country. as of today, everything that i can do while in country
this trip is done. so, while we continue to bond, we just wait on a precious miracle.
i went to church yesterday with the boys and their friends. it is the church i visited before
while here. fyi: one should always be prepared to get up and speak when visiting an african
church. i told them how much we love their country and that i am here to adopt children
that God has shown us--the same way that He has adopted us. there was quite the rain storm
happening for a lot of the service so extra time was spent in worship, as you couldn't hear a
sermon. worshiping with our boys in a mud hut, with a tin roof, in a rain storm?
it was beautiful.
we are traveling back to the orphanage now. pretty amazing to be in the middle of a small
african country and share our day with you. so glad i can. thank you for your love and
encouragement. we certainly can feel the prayers, too. thank you.


Sharing pizza and Fanta with your boys? Incredible!

ReplyDeletePizza and orange Fanta is so simple, but it's so big right here. It's so amazing, but I pray for the days when pizza and pop become something you can do with your boys all the time.
ReplyDeleteTears as I pictured what you described with your boys in church with the rain. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI know this is seriously off topic, but however do you get your hair to look so beautiful in Africa. I look NOTHING like that over there.
